Atlas Copco to showcase smart integrated assembly at Advanced Engineering

Aimed at supporting aerospace manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers in the transition to smart manufacturing processes with the aid of Wi-Fi connected electric tooling, Atlas Copco Tools & Industrial Assembly Solutions will be showcasing its Smart Factory philosophy, tooling, quality inspection and software solutions at this year’s Advanced Engineering show.  Central to Atlas Copco’s ‘Smart Integrated Assembly’ is the goal of improving quality and productivity, as well as eliminating costly rework and material wastage, in pursuit of more sustainable manufacturing practices within the aerospace sector.  Atlas Copco’s ‘Smart Integrated Assembly’ is designed to connect all its digital tools throughout the factory to a company’s MES (Manufacturing Execution System), which employs the latest 5G connectivity on selected tool models, in order to optimise production, provide full traceability at every stage of the assembly process, whilst reducing energy consumption.  Commenting on its Smart Integrated Assembly concept, James McAllister, general manager, Atlas Copco Tools and Industrial Assembly Solutions, said: “As a strategic partner to aerospace manufacturers, Atlas Copco is fully committed to improving production efficiency, by harnessing real-time data insights and hyper flexibility, as part of a smart manufacturing ecosystem. We are looking forward to demonstrating Smart Integrated Assembly and our comprehensive range of smart connected solutions. When implemented, these enable fact-based decision making that will revolutionise production line design into a full Smart Factory operation, adding enormous value to the aerospace industry.” Atlas Copco will be exhibiting on stand J150. www.atlascopcogroup.com
